Where I Went Wrong

Jose Zuniga
Eclipse, light on pause,

Plays in my mind

Like the beating of my heart

Dark,

Coffee, a stain,

A girl, her hand

Soft, acrylic

Nail polish,

Perfect skin

"No wait!"

She said,

Stuffy shoes, smell permeates,

Of her perfumed

Sleeve

Crashed, soon

The light,

Like a cigarette's end,

Bursts into the street

No company,

No end,

Just a memory

Like the eclipse

Fading away.
